This was a good week! On Monday we had a nerf war for pday. That night
we went to this man's bible study. His name is Adrian. It was fun to go
there.
On Tuesday Elder Canul had to go to District training meeting,
and I went to Shafter that day with Elder Holland. It was pretty fun. We
went to Barbera, Angel, and Camila, and it turns out that their mom
does not want them to get baptized. Angel and Camila do want to get
baptized, but their mom wants their godparents to baptize them. It's
super sad.
On Wednesday we went to a lady we found last week, and it
turns out she's a really less active member. We also went to Ana Gloria
and went tabling at walmart, and you really can find anybody in walmart.
We went to the Rubalcaba family for dinner, and they just got sealed
the night before. They're an awesome family. W
e didn't have much that we
could do on Thursday because, and I continually forget to say, Elder
Canul has floaters in his eyes, where he always sees shadows. He also
has retinal tears, which create lightning flashes. We went to
Bakersfield to get a doctor's look at what's going on, and they found
the floaters and the retinal tears and took him in immediately to laser
eye surgery. We're coming back this Thursday too.
On Friday we had
exchanges, and I was with Elder Parsons. We went knocking from 2-3 in
the rain, and we tried potentials. We went to Esther, the woman who has
been looking up anti-Mormon things, and we went over the restoration. It
was definitely the Spirit in that lesson. It was pretty awesome, and we
shared 1 Nephi 1:11-12 when one of the apostles gives Lehi a book and
asks him to read it, and as he read, he was filled with the Spirit of
the Lord. She said "That's what I want." She said she's willing to
sincerely find out if it's all true or not.
On Saturday the English
Elders had a baptism, and it was an amazing baptism. As he came out of
the water, he was crying and he just fell into Elder Parson's arms and
said "Thank you, thank you". It was awesome.
On Sunday we visited
Leonor, and we taught about Church, Pray, and Read. It went well. We
also taught Crystal. This week I've taught the law of chastity twice to a
9 year-old, and a 10 and 11 year-old. It's pretty hard to do. That was
my awesome week. I love you all and thanks for your continual prayers. I
know that this church is true. The Lord is opening the hearts of
people, and His gospel is what does that. The atonement is real. I
testify of that in the Name of Jesus Christ, amen.
I love that they did a nerf war!
